Zhu Pingan’s safe return made the head of the field in Xihe Village a sea of joy. After the crowd’s excitement gradually calmed down, people only remembered the other protagonist of the day came, and then Feng Toushu, who had been stepped on countless times in the crowd, returned once again to the crowd’s sight at this moment.
“Itchy Sheng pay respects to your honour.”
That said, at this moment kneeling on the ground Feng Toushu image is very wretched, body several big footprints, hands have been stepped on with mud, forehead cold sweat.
“Huh? Why is this, why does a Xiu Cai need to perform such a big salute?”Zhu Pingan stood in front of Feng Toushu, hooked the corners of his mouth and eeped, with a smile on his face, he inquired to Feng Toushu who was kneeling on the ground.
“Your Excellency has turned good fortune into good fortune and returned safely, Itchy Sheng was overjoyed and could not help but do so.”Feng Toshu kneeling on the ground, under the fear of the voice with a tremor.
With footprints, cold sweat, trembling voice, looks like Feng Toshu is very poor, but poor people must be hateful!
If he did not come back, at this moment he must be another face of superiority, I think at this moment his mother and father people do not know how this person will be difficult it. Xu official is the main body of the national public power directly on the people, a small Xu official let a person’s family tragedy in this era is not a small number. The primary purpose of his own imperialist struggle is to improve his family and protect his family, and he can tolerate bullying and insulting me, but bullying and insulting my family is never okay! The dragon’s scales, touched by the anger, family is my scales.
He is a sixth-ranking official, only to be misrepresented perished, this person would dare to come to their own home to make waves, then for other powerless families, this person is certainly more than ever, I do not know how many families have been victimised by it.
So for kneeling at the feet of Feng Toshu, Zhu Pingan can not return the kindness of the meaning of their own is not what the Virgin White Lotus.
“Xiu Cai does not kneel when he sees an official, unless he worships his teacher and sacrifices to Confucius, I am not your benefactor, you kneel to me, does it not mean that I am so arrogant that I can compare myself to the Confucius Saint? Hmm?”Zhu Pingan slightly bent down, looked at Feng Toushu who was kneeling at his feet, asked with a playful smile.
“Itchy student dare not, itchy student dare not.”Feng Toushu sniffed, a capital face of confusion, this Lord Zhu thought too much, but seeing Zhu Pingan’s questioning eyes, his forehead couldn’t help but sweat coldly, and he even kowtowed more than once.
“Look at you, why are you kowtowing again? I’m not arrogant enough to dare to compare myself to Confucius Saint.”Zhu Pingan said and sidestepped.
“Itchy student dare not, itchy student dare not ……”
Feng Toushu hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhu Pingan, repeatedly confessing, then waved his sleeve and couldn’t stop wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, at this moment Feng Toushu’s little heart was about to be unable to restrain.
“Well, that’s right.”Zhu Pingan nodded.
Hearing Zhu Ping An’s words, Feng Tushu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart that had been held tightly could finally relax.
However, the next second, he saw Zhu Pingan after nodding his head, and then asked again as if nothing had happened, “Where were we just talking about, oh yeah, remember. My family also has to pay taxes haha, when did the court come out with the tax payment policy, how come I don’t know?”
As soon as Zhu Pingan’s words fell, he heard a plopping sound, Feng Tushu who had just stood up fell to his knees once again, shivering and shivering, his face as red as a monkey’s buttocks, unable to say a word.
Where did the court ever come up with any policy, it was all his own intention, so under Zhu Pingan’s question, Feng Toshu just shivered, unable to say a word.
When the crowd in the lower river village saw Feng Toushu like this, they all scoffed, just now he was as powerful as anything, now how come he is like a mouse that has seen a cat.
“What’s wrong?”Zhu Ping An slightly bent down and looked at Feng Toushu hooking his lips and asked, “Can’t remember?”
Feng Toushu stammered and could not answer.
“That’s good, then I’ll change the question, who asked you to come?”Zhu Pingan asked again.
“Itchy Sheng, Itchy Sheng ……Itchy Sheng is under the orders of the magistrate.”Feng Toushu was very out of breath when he said this.
In fact, where is he what is under the orders of the governor, are his own initiative, want to come over to make a fortune, fill their own pockets, this kind of thing is hidden from the governor to do, just take the flag of the governor to bluff people, he has done this kind of thing is not once or twice. The bottom of the people know what, see is the county government office to come people, but not their own say what is what.
The so-called: any you official clear like water, how can officials slippery as oil. Even a clean official can’t guarantee that the officials will do harm to the people, not to mention the general officials. Don’t look at the county governor as the head of the county, holding the highest authority in the county, but the county official is after all a person, the vast majority of county affairs are in the hands of others, which gives the opportunity to the Xuyun. In a sense, the magistrate is only on the surface of the scenery, in fact, hiding in his “back” top of his name to reap the benefits of their own sequence, is the real master of the county. He is just a puppet of a large number of people around, under his name to reap their own benefits. These “nameless juniors” hiding in the back are the ones who have the most to gain.
From Feng Toushu’s eyes and tone, Zhu Pingan knew that this matter was his own doing.
“Oh, it was Lord Governor who ordered you to come.”Zhu Pingan nodded.
“Yes, yes.”Feng Toushu wiped his sweat while nodding his head and carefully shushed Zhu Pingan, seeing that Zhu Pingan’s face was not abnormal, he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Since the governor ordered you to come, then the governor must know when the imperial court has come out with the tax payment policy, then I would like to thank Feng Toushu to go and invite the governor here.”Zhu Pingan said with a playful smile.
Ah?
“Magistrate ……Lord Zhixian has a lot of work to do day in and day out, I’m afraid, I’m afraid I don’t have the time.”
Fortunately, Feng Toushu was kneeling at the moment, otherwise Feng Toushu would have been asked this question by Zhu Pingan again and would have fallen to the ground in a cold sweat and on his knees.
“Oh, what, I still can’t invite a seventh grade magistrate as a sixth grade official?”Zhu Pingan bent down, his gaze locking with Feng Toushu.
Bam.
When Feng Toushu heard this, his body went from kneeling to sitting all of a sudden, he couldn’t even kneel anymore, and the cold sweat on his forehead was flowing into a note.
Yes, Zhu Pingan is a sixth-grade official ah, the governor is only seventh-grade ah, on the county governor is only from the sixth-grade, Huai Ning County is not on the county, the governor is only seventh-grade only. Zhu Pingan’s words, the lower two levels of the governor’s hand is even more busy, but also have to come over ah. If the magistrate comes over, then everything he has done will not be dismantled, and then he will not only have to face Zhu Pingan’s anger, but also the magistrate’s anger.
“Holding my handwritten note, go and invite the magistrate to come to my humble abode to have a talk, I will prepare a crude tea and meal in my humble abode and wait for the magistrate.”Zhu Pingan got up and took down a small seal from his waist, and instructed an errand boy with a straight face.
“As you command.”The errand boy took the seal and did not dare to hesitate.
“My lord forgive me, my lord forgive me, Itchy Sheng knows he is wrong. Reporting back to your lordship, it’s all because Itchy Sheng coveted money, disregarded the law, and was tempted by your lordship’s great-uncle, Zhu Shouren, and committed a confusing act.”
Seeing this, Feng Toushu was completely scared, and without saying a word, he gave himself a mouthful, repeatedly asking for forgiveness from Zhu Pingan, no longer daring to hide, and telling the whole story.
Upon hearing this
The crowd of onlookers ……
The surroundings were dead silent, even the air seemed to have frozen, a pin could be heard, at this time a slight footstep was exceptionally obvious.
The crowd turned their heads
In the crowd, an incongruous figure is unusually magnificent, it is the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren tiptoeing is leaving the figure of the
